| Greeting card virus-warning to you I think someone just sent me a virus! I got a notification that I was sent an email greeting card, which I get quite often from a friend or two...I opened it up and my computer detected a virus! I have no idea what the virus is, I hope my virus software took care of it. |

| Oh I never ever open those. The same thing happened to me. Luckily my anti-virus software DID take care of it. Now I just delete. I've told my friends not to send me anything like that. TO be honest, I don't open forwards either. LOL.

| I got that one too and my dumbness fell for it (which I usually never do) and my computer just whigged out on me. I think I got it resolved but boy did that make me mad.

| I don't open anything unless I know the person sending it. I've been burnt before.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I got the same thing a few weeks ago I had a feeling it was crap just by looking at it, but thought that I had better click on the link to see what it was anyway (yeah I know, stupid move - I SHOULD OF known better ). Anyway, sure enough when I clicked on the link, internet explorer crashed and my Norton popped up - VIRUS FOUND It wasn't anything major at all (just a little virus that was stored in my temp. internet files) - but Norton removed it right away and all was fine Be careful though guys!

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I have been getting a ton of those. I dont' open them. Unless it's from a email that I do know then I open it. Recently I got a bunch saying that co-worker sent me one or a friend sent it. So really beware of them.
